The combinations formula is nCr = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}
n = complete value set     r = desired goal
to find combinations we find all combos for 5,6,7,8,and 9 and add them together.
which come out as 126, 84, 36, 9 and 1
Therefore there are 256 combinations

HELP!!!!
Nonamiya [84]
Your answer is E. $25.

First let under 12 = u, over 12 = o, and adults = a.
We can now write the equations:

2u + 3a + 3o = 174
4u + 2a = 122
a + o = 46

Because we know that a + o = 46, and 3a + 3o is in the first equation, we can multiply 46 by 3 to get what 3a + 3o equals. This makes 138.
Now we can substitute 138 into the first equation to get 2u + 138 = 174
2u = 36
u = 18

Now that we know what u equals, we can substitute it in to the second equation to get:
4(18) + 2a = 122
72 + 2a = 122
2a = 50
a = $25

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
